(Starkey, et al., 2011). 2. Cubital Fossa a. The cubital fossa is a triangular area along the elbow made up of medial portion of the brachioradialis muscle, the lateral portion of the pronator teres, and the horizontal line between the two epicondyles (Starkey, et al., 2011). b. The brachial artery, the median nerve, and the biceps brachii tendon pass
Rotator Cuff Pain Health History: The patient is a middle age male with history of shoulder injuries. Specifically, he cites previous rotor cuff instability of the glenohumeral (G/H) joint. The patient is unfamiliar with the significance of the injury and the components of the rotator cuff requesting explanation of how the rotator cuff works. Presentation and Examination: Palpation and engaging the rotator cuff muscles helps isolate and identify which muscles are injured. The patient presents
and ensure they are fixed and stable throughout the exercise. • Your upper arm should remain flat on the bench pad throughout the exercise. Biceps: Zottman Curl Gearge Zottman devised Zottman Curl in the 1880s. The Zottman curl involves the brachioradialis and helps to maintain balance between lower and upper arm mass. This exercise effectively combines the standard barbell curl and the reverse curl. Procedures: • Stand up straight, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Your palms should be at a neutral
Synergist muscles also help to create the movement. In the bicep curl the synergist muscles are the brachioradialis and brachialis which assist the biceps to create the movement and stabilise the elbow joint Type of contraction Concentric Contraction From the Sport and PE book by Kevin Wesson, Nesta Wiggins-James, Graham Thompson and Sue Hartigan I have
down (Delgado, 2013). The coracobrachialis and the pectoralis major flexes and adducts the shoulder (Delgado, 2013). The biceps brachii flexes the arm at the arm at the shoulder and the forearm at the elbow (Delgado, 2013). The brachialis and brachioradialis also flex the forearm at the elbow (Delgado, 2013). The supinator turns the forearm and hand back over to anatomical position with the palms facing anteriorly (Shier, 2007). The origin of the supinator is the the crest of the ulna and the lateral
Introduction Swimming is a sport widely practices all over the world. It can be done as a competitive sport, for general exercise or as a fun activity to relax. Swimming was not widely practiced until the early 19th century, when the National Swimming Society of Great Britain began to hold competitions. Most early swimmers used the breaststroke, or a form of it. (Olympic Movent.2013.) Swimming is classified into four different strokes namely freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke and butterfly. The
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview MMG (mechanomyography) is a technique for interpreting mechanical activity based on muscle contraction. The prediction of muscular tissue condition can be found using MMG, a technique that muscular mechanical waves produced during a fiber’s contraction and stretching that are sensed over skin surface [22]. The purpose of this research is to explore various methods of muscle activity through MMG signal to recognize multiple hand gesture. The evaluation of muscle
